[IAEP] Motion to adopt the 2016 vision for Sugar Labs

[Laura Vargas]

Dave,

Mission vrs Vision has nothing to do with the length of the statement.

Instead, the difference is about which question does it answer;

Mission shall answer “What do we do? What makes us different?” while
Vision answers
the question, “Where do we aim to be?”

Still, like many author state, they are both often confused and therefore
strategic planning these days usually limits to one unique statement that
covers and answers all questions.

Sean,

 It is the first time I read the current SL vision. I'm glad we have one.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you both for the feedback. I'll send a separate email with the motion
to update current vision statement.
